2019 LPRT Battle at the Alamo - Preview

The Battle at the Alamo has become one of most reliable stops on the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT), and it begins Friday in San Antonio, Texas, where 22 players will compete for the title. Twenty one of those players will be trying to prevent LPRT #1 Paola Longoria from continuing her undefeated season.

The field has the top 8 LPRT players, including LPRT #2 Samantha Salas, #3 Maria Jose Vargas, who is the most recent LPRT winner, as she won the Bolivia Open last month by defeating Salas in the final. If they meet in San Antonio, it will be in the semi-finals.

Longoria's path to the final will may have to go through LPRT #8 Frédérique Lambert in the quarterfinals, although Lambert will have to beat 9th seed Adriana Riveros to set that up. If Longoria get to the semi-finals, she'll likely have either LPRT #4 Alexandra Herrera or LPRT #5 Rhonda Rajsich awaiting her.

Play begins Friday morning with the Rounds of 32 and 16. The quarterfinals will be Saturday morning with the semi-finals Saturday night and final on Sunday at noon. You can watch some of the action via the LPRT website or the LPRT LiveStream channel.
